EAST LANSING — Michigan State's receiving corps is the first to tell you it has improved this season.

Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio has steadfastly maintained Michigan State has "talent and ability at that position.''

And yet, in this Bleacher Report article, "stickum" is what has been put on Santa's Christmas list for the program on account of the Michigan State receiver's costly drops.

The Spartans' receivers will have the opportunity to show how much they have improved when Michigan State (6-6) plays TCU (7-5) at 10:15 p.m. on Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
